The hunt is on for a new taco taste tester to travel the country sampling Mexican food.
One lucky person could spent their time eating tacos and margaritas – and getting paid handsomely for it.
DesignMyNight is recruiting a Cinco De Mayo taste tester to sample Mexican cuisine ahead of the celebrations, The Hoot reports.
Taking place annually on May 5, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

The selected taco tester will be paid to travel the UK and try tacos, margaritas and other Mexican delights whilst writing about their thoughts and experiences in a blog aimed to be read by the DesignMyNight users.
The reviews will be uploaded to the website after each restaurant visit, their overall aim being to help people plan their nights out and to find fantastic food and drink.
This is the first job of its kind by the brand and the payment process will be just as unique as the job. The taster will be paid for their work with £1,000 worth of vouchers and DesignMyNight points.

These points are redeemable through bars, restaurants and other venues who partner with the company. By writing reviews and buying tickets through their website, users can earn points which are redeemable for food and drinks.
In time with Cinco de Mayo, entries for the job close at midnight on 5 May.
The Manchester Evening News have reported that Anisah Audu, managing editor of DesignMyNight, said: “To celebrate the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo, we’re on the lookout for someone who shares the same love for margaritas and tacos, and who can help us uncover more local restaurants and hidden gems up and down the country.”
So, if you’re up for the task of finding the best margaritas and tacos in the UK, then you can applyon the DesignMyNight website but you best be quick, as the entries are closing soon.

Nostalgic ready-to-drink Breezer makes UK return after a decade
Daisy Jackson
An iconic ready-to-drink favourite has launched back into the UK – oh yes, Breezer is back.
First launched in the 1990s, Breezers – then pitched as an ‘alcopop’ – were a staple on dancefloors and at barbecues right across the UK.
And now Bacardi has decided to bring these delicious, fruity, easy-drinking bottles back to British shores.
There are three new flavours to try as Breezers return to your fridges – Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime, and Crisp Watermelon.
And Breezer launched back into Manchester last night with a suitably memorable party, turning a spot in the Northern Quarter into a corner shop.
The ‘local Cornerbop’ was stacked with your usual essentials, plus shelf after shelf of these colourful glass ready-to-drink bottles.

The Breezer relaunch party saw Tarsza and Rennie Peters spinning nostalgic anthems with a modern twist at a pop-up party in a corner shop.
Steve Young, business unit director for Bacardi in the UK & Ireland, said: “We know there is a lot of love for Breezer in the UK, and we are confident a new generation of consumers will fall in love with the new Breezer.
“RTDs are booming, however, the Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages category could do with a bit more excitement. By bringing back Breezer we’re definitely putting the fruity taste into FAB.”
The iconic ready-to-drink classic is back – and better than ever.
Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
